pasta

Friday, April 14, 2006

I have an eternal craving for pasta specifically those stuff with red sauce.  It is a bizarre feeling that I cannot explain.  Everytime I think of a pasta dish, I feel like a child going after an ice cream.

Thankfully, there are some good places around Makati that offers great pasta dishes.  Of course, I exclude those sphags offered in popular fastfood chains.  They are out of my taste buds.  

One holy example is the promodoro pasta at The Java Man; a cafe located inside PowerBooks along the GB3 walkway.  Recently, I have tried their tuna-in-oil pasta.  Wow, I love it!

The seafood pasta of Amecci is another type that keeps me coming back to that place.  It is located inside Don Bosco along Pasay Road.  They serve a number of Itallian pasta dishes that are generously cooked with complete ingredients.

Added to my list is Sabarro at the Glorietta.  Ziti with thick meat sauce is my all-time favorite.  They offer half-servings which is more than enough to satisfy my hunger.

Today is a Holy Thursday.  Being a Catholic devotee, our family practice abstinence by not eating meat until Easter Sunday.  During this time of the year, we always have a pasta with sardine sauce.  But today, I voluntarily cooked a special Pasta Promodoro with shrimp, spanish sardine, and clams.  I used a classic linguine pasta.  It was a box-office hit!  Everyone in the family had a feast.  I must say, the hefty budget should prove itself or else. :-)

I have to end this.  My stomach is rumbling.  Need to check for leftovers in the fridge.  Yummy. :-)
